Huawei MediaPad

The Huawei MediaPad was one of the first devices the company built when transitioning to the high-end market. Not to mention that it was the first tablet to be announced with Android 3.2, Google's 7-inch tablet-friendly OS.

It sports a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, a 7-inch display, 1 GB of RAM and it has been updated to Android 4.0. In the US, the MediaPad is better known as the T-Mobile Springboard, which is Magenta's version of the tablet.

T-Mobile’s version of the original Huawei MediaPad, the T-Mobile SpringBoard, looks to be getting Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich this Wednesday. Magenta will be […]

As a string of springtime device updates continues, Huawei is the latest manufacturer to push out Android 4.0 to eager users.

The ladies and gents at Huawei have announced that new series of MediaPad tablets are headed to store shelves soon. These don’t differ much from the original but they will be preloaded with Android 4.0. We imagine minor improvements were made internally but only on the configuration and layout side. – They’ve also announced the […]

It’s funny how even the prospect of Ice Cream Sandwich has the ability to triple a device’s desirability and that’s exactly the case with the Huawei MediaPad. The device was recently leaked from a Chinese website running an official build of Android 4.0.1, which doesn’t surprise us at all seeing the company officially released a […]

The Huawei MediaPad, which will launch in the US as the T-Mobile SpringBoard, is headed to the UK. The manufacturer confirmed as much, pointing to a release in early 2012. The 7-inch tablet was one of the first to give us a glimpse at Honeycomb (specifically Android 3.2) tailored for a slightly smaller screen, though […]

We knew the MediaPad was coming, but we never got a good look at it running Honeycomb before today. It’s a device from Huawei and is the first 7 inch tablet to run Android 3.0+. Acer was supposed to take that crown, but they have reportedly had problems adapting Honeycomb to the 7 inch tablet, […]

We just got an email from Huawei informing us that their MediaPad launch event is going down on June 20th at CommunicAsia in Singapore. We still don’t know a whole lot about this thing, but they have given us a sneak peak at the device above. Unfortunately, they don’t show anything on the software side […]

Without providing much more detail than calling it their “smartest, smallest and lightest tablet ever,” Huawei has announced they will be unveiling a new tablet on June 20th as part of CommunicAsia 2011 in Singapore. The tablet, to be called the MediaPad, will be showcased on site and as part of a live global webcast […]
